His ability to guard multiple positions like OO is the real prize. Some have compared him to Mitchell Robinson but Mitchell has more offensive upside but not quite the defensive feel and IQ of Lively. That said, do you buy the jumper. Do I? Not yet. I need to see it in game action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much of Lively strengths are based on his IQ and positioning. He's also are a plus passer. That's probably the most appealing about his offensive upside even if he's limited. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the part that scares me... doesn't make sense for his college coach to limit him that much if those skills played up in actual games. Maybe he filled a specific need with other shooters on the team. JC was the same at Wake Forest....was strictly a post player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBASupes Posted June 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 (edited) If there is a player he has shades of, it's Kevon Looney. He's just much much taller and longer. Looney has more offensive upside but they are both smart high BBIQ players who can pass, play unselfish and are both plus defensive players.

Rookies usually aren't ready and probably won't play year one for Snyder. And attaching a pick on top of that? No bueno. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve come to the realization that young ballers come with a risk. He’s fat, he loves hookers, but at least he hasn’t shot any fake guns.. Look, again I liked Zion. He’s been injured half his career but the other half when he’s played he’s been an all star and a force. I wouldn’t mind pairing Trae and Zion for the right price. I know I’m back n forth on this but IF he or his camp can get him straight, he’s a top 10 player in the league for the next 5 years. I have made myself believe that IF I saw Zion on Trae's Pickup Basketball team with Trae and DJM this summer and he was playing hard like they play and he looked up to Trae and DJ like team then I would want him on our squad. I would love to see the desire to play basketball and not just the desire to be IN Atlanta. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm personally going to judge the offseason based on how many fights DJM gets into with incoming rookies during the summer. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KB21 Posted June 19, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 If you trade Clint, it's because you want to open up a starting position for Okongwu, who is close to being as good of a rim protector as Clint but is much better at switching and guarding on the perimeter. I also think there is more untapped offensive potential that he was never allowed to develop under Nate that we will see under Quin. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see the desire to play basketball and not just the desire to be IN Atlanta. Zion reminded me of Nique when he came out of college. Just the way he viciously attacked the rim, Barkley/LJ body type but kinda had the Nique bow legged ferocity when heading to the rim. I’m not gonna lie, I kinda want him. In a lot of way I agree with @kg01 about his body being unsustainable in the long run and all the off court stuff with the porn stars and whatnot but he would look drool worthy in a Hawks uni. Having said that, it still depends on the price. Honestly I’d swing a JC/Cap for Zion/JaxHayes deal. Again, a risk but just the thought of Trae and Zion together would make us one of the biggest draws in the league as far as coverage and would finally maybe shed a positively light on how it’s great to PLAY BASKETBALL IN ATLANTA vs just go there for clubs and buying shoes n stuff as you alluded to in your previous post. I might be wrong about this. I want Zion. I’m back n forth but something tells me if he lands in a new situation with an awesome PG (Trae) and an awesome coach (Q) that he’s gonna turn this thing around. He is a monster on the court and when he’s healthy I turn the channel to watch him play I ain’t gonna lie …, unless it’s Hawks time then I don’t change the channel for anything. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member JayBirdHawk Posted June 19, 2023 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 Celtics not intending to trade Jaylen Brown Jaylen Brown remains an essential part of that picture. The source said the Celtics do not intend to trade the All-Star forward, and that all signs continue to point toward Brown signing a five-year, $295 million super-max extension this summer. – via Boston Globe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
